Sweeping the Roof

A job Sweeping the Roof is a no show job. Essentially you don't have to go in because who's going to check or know if you've swept the roof.

My uncle Joey got me a job 9-5 sweeping the roof over on W 32nd Street.

sweepings

Sweepings: The scraps, leavings, hand-me-downs, things tossed aside as the quality stuff is grabbed up at sales. Junk.

Allie and her friend Brenda waited all night to get into the store with the Grand Opening mega-sale. As they were scrunched through the door the mob rushed right through them and by the time they could get the clothes they dreamed of - all that was left were torn & dirty things that were either way too small or large enough to use as a tent. Scraps and pieces of clothing littered the floors, trampled and raggedly filthy junk.

Well Bren, looks like were stuck with the sweepings.
